Why stay here ...
We look forward to welcoming you to our site. We are ideally situated for you to tour the North East of England to reach a wide variety of scenery, excellent food, top quality theatres, varied recreational activities and magnificent historical sites.
We are situated on the outskirts of the town of Sedgefield on the A689 a short distance from Junction 60 on A1 (M) and approximately 6 miles from the A19. We recommend you use the directions in the directory Not use the sat nav.
We are a fourth generation family owned working farm, we keep suckler cows and calves and sell free range eggs. We are open all year and offer good access to our all hardstanding, serviced pitches. Each pitch has lawned areas, 16 amp electricity, with free wi-fi connection and satellite hookup. We can accommodate any size motorhome or caravan and offer separate motorhome waste disposal.
New for 2020: We would like to welcome friendly and well behaved dogs onto our Certificated Location. As a working farm, dogs will need to be kept on a lead at all times during your stay. There is a car free dog walk from the site into Sedgefield.
We are half a mile, a 10 minute walk along Beacon Lane, to the town centre which offers a good selection of shops, supermarkets, including a post office, coffee shops, eateries and public houses. George Bolams is our local wholesale butcher, where you can buy a lunchtime carvery, very reasonably priced meat for your barbeque or meat to take home and fill your freezer!
Hardwick Country Park is a must for everyone searching for a tranquil walk and a delicious coffee. The Dun Cow Inn comes highly recommended for good food and is also famously where Prime Minister Tony Blair & George Bush had lunch together. Wynyard Hall Gardens and farm shop are a couple of miles away and well worth a visit for anyone who loves roses!
The bus route through the town will take you in all directions to explore the county, from Newcastle, Durham, Middlesbrough to Darlington, the Dales or Hartlepool, Seaham and Sunderland. Also a regular connection service to North Yorkshire where you can explore Whitby, Helmsley or the coastal towns of Redcar and Saltburn.
Our location is perfect for many days out - Durham Cathedral and Castle and Beamish historical museum are "must" visits! Darlington is the birthplace of the railways with the Locomotion and Head of Steam museums a short drive away. The production of Kynren at Bishop Auckland attracts visitors nationwide. Bowes museum, Raby Castle and High Force are all within easy reach. Whereas Teesside's Transporter Bridge, the hidden gem of Yarm and Saltholme RSPB bring many other interesting days out. And finally, Harlepool's historic museum and the ship Trincomalee, another idea!
We are on the National Cycle Network. Golf and fishing are available close by.
The town hosts a Farmers Market every first Sunday of the month, a Mediaeval Fayre in May, Beer Festival in July and Agricultural Show in August, Folk Festival in September, also Sedgefield Racecourse has Car Boot Sales on Thursdays & Sundays.
We hope you will enjoy your visit as much as we enjoy meeting old friends and making new friends every year!

Short stroll to local ameneties
Donnewell Farm
2 night stay in Nov 2022.
Good access to site.
Water, EHU and satellite dish feed at each pitch. Good TV and mobile signals. Pitches mostly level.
12 min walk along quiet lane to Sedgefield centre with lots of options to eat out and local stores.
Great CL
Donnewell Farm
We stayed here for 2 nights. We had a very good welcome and was given very good information about the village and buses. There was a bit of road noise.

Fully Serviced Pitches
Donnewell Farm
This is a great CL. There are Hardstanding with electricity, water and drainage. There is also a grass rally field also with ehu. Sedgefield is a short and easy walk away with great pubs and cafes. You must go to George Bolams shop. Loads of meat, fish, cheese, veg and bakery.
If you go on Donnewell farm’s website, the instruction to ignore the postcode and use Google maps is very clear; as are the written directions to the site. We found it with no problem. The pricing is also very clear on the website; it is the CAMC page that is out of date.
There is quite a bit of road noise from the dual carriageway, particularly in the morning. It would not stop us coming back, but it might bother others.

Good quality CL.
Donnewell Farm
It's unclear to me why others struggled to find this CL, it's as easy as pie to find, and just as easy to get into. We have an 8m motorhome with tow car. Postcode is correct, directs are clear, just look for it on google maps and see.
We always use CLs rather than the larger, busier, more expensive club sites, because we prefer it quieter. Many CLs only have one grey water disposal point and one fresh water stand pipe. It's always a little bonus when we find one with a serviced pitch, as with here. Likewise, this CL has level pitches, all 5 of which are hardstanding.
We cannot fault the site, and would stay here again no doubt at all. My only negative comment, please amend your advertised price. We don't mind paying £22 per night knowing that the facilities are good, but why leave the price advertised on here as £12? All it does is causes those who like to moan, to moan.
If you are looking for a cheap overnight stay this is probably not for you
Donnewell Farm
We booked this site for a one night stopover on our way home which was fine, however, the post code doesn't work and the owners directions were not very clear. I phoned to ask for the correct postcode and was assured that I had the correct postcode, but we still couldn't find it and I phoned again and was given the post code for another farm close by which was on the other side of a dual carriageway. After as 350 mile drive you just don't need the hassle. I spoke to the owner and he informed me that the postcode had been changed a couple of years ago. The description on the website gives a guide price as from £12 but we were charged £22. I knew it was more expensive from one of the earlier reviews where the person was charged £18 and I was fine with that, but I feel that £22 is just too much for what they offer. We were on a Club site in the Cotswolds with full facilities where the midweek price was £20 and another private site in the New Forest again with full facilities and that was also £20 All the pitches on this site have an electric meter which I don't think is in use as we were not charged any extra for the 3Kw electric that we had used. Sorry but I wouldn't stay here again.
